Brisbane to Sydney Opera House (virtual run)

Life and ice hockey sometimes just get in the way.  I had planned on doing a 10k run on Friday but that plan has been torpedoed.  My boss approached me yesterday and asked that I change my plans because he needs me to do something at work on Friday.  These things happen sometimes.  I was going to do a long run today instead but the Boston Bruin v. Chicago Blackhawk triple overtime game put a stop to that.  I settled instead for a 6k run.  I completed a 4k run yesterday so at least I have done 10ks the past couple of days.  I plan on doing another 6k run tomorrow after work so at least that's something.  I have this Monday off so lets hope I can get in another 10k run. 

The rain finally let up here in Brisbane so I didn't have to run through too many puddles.  It was a perfect running evening and Mrs. Slowrunning was in the pool doing her swimming thing.  It's been a good day today.

I got home and weighed myself and I'm starting to finally see some positive results.  For weeks I was stuck between 90 and 91kgs but after today's run I'm down to 88.9 (195lbs) 15.1kgs (33lbs).  I still have a ways to go.  According to Runners World Magazine my ideal running weight is 73kgs.  Which means I have to lose another 15.9kgs.  So I am about half way there.  Sounds like fun.
